]xxxiv Archeological Survey Report. 
201. Mound J which is 75 feet square at base and 15 feet in 
height, has also been recently excavated. I was able to trace the 
straight walls of a temple, and in the excavated holes I found large 
thick pieces of plaster, which had once covered the walls. There 
are no sculptures now lying about this mound, but immediately 
to the south of it, and outside a small modern Jain temple, there is 
a very fine standing figure of the four-armed Vishnu in blue stone. 
The head and arms are gone, but the rest of the sculpture is in good 
order. On the left side there are the Fish, the Tortoise, and the 
Boar Avatars ; and on the right the Buddha and the Kalki Avatars. 
The five missing incarnations must have been lost with the head of 
the figure. This fine statue was probably enshrined in a temple now 
represented by mound J. 
202. The Jain temple is a small square flat roofed brick building 
of recent date. There are no Jains now living at Khukhundo, but 
the temple is visited by the banias and bankers of Gorakhpur and 
Patna. Inside the temple there is a large naked figure in blue stone, 
sitting squatted with his hands in his lap. Overhead there is a triple 
umbrella, and above that a Dundubhi musician fiying with his drum. 
On the pedestal there is a bull with a lion on each side. Now the 
bull is the cognizance of Adi Buddha, the first of the 24 Jain pon- 
tiffs. The people are therefore mistaken in calling the figure a statue 
of Pdrswandth, whose well known symbol is a snake. Outside the 
temple, however, there is another naked Jain statue which has two 
snakes twisted around its pedestal, and is therefore most probably a 
figure of Pdrswandth. It is possible that this may have been the 
original figure enshrined in the temple. Another sculpture, in coarse 
sandstone, represents the same naked couple, male and female, whom 
I have before described. A tree rises behind them, and with its 
boughs forms a canopy over their heads. Over all there is a small 
squatted figure like a Buddha, but naked. The male figure in this 
sculpture has a lotus in his right hand. 
208. Mound K, which is crowned with a fine tamarind tree, is 
the largest mass of ruin at Khukhundo. It is 120 feet square at 
base and J6 feet in height. At 10 feet above the ground level I 
made an excavation at a point on the western edge, where I observed 
something like a piece of terraced flooring. My excavation uncovered 
a portion of terraced floor 9 feet square, but completely broken up
